Ever wonder how gardening tools are made?   ...Take the  tour!

 

 

A few facts about the forge and Bulldog

They use the same process today that thy have used since 1780, to produce Spades and Forks. he forge is situated on a five acre site in Wigan, England.

2000 Tools are manufactured per day, solid forged on English machinery, in ENGLAND!

Their solid forged products are just that, solid forged from one piece of steel. They are put through a tempering process known as austempering, which retains its flexibility unlike inferior products, which are simply plunged into oil.

Solid forging from one piece of steel is much stronger than fabricating or welding a tool as you are left with no weak spots. A welded product's weak spot would be the weld!
